Best Dog Books

    As many who read this blog know, I love dogs and dog books.  This year I read three dog books that I really enjoyed.  The best new dog book was Following Atticus by Tom Ryan.  This book is about a man and his dog who hiked up mountains in New Hampshire.  It is the story of a man and a dog who have a great relationship.  The other two dog books are about dogs who served in World War II.  Sea Dog Bamse tells the story of Bamse, a Saint Bernard who served on a Norwegian naval vessel based in Scotland.  A Man and His Dog is the story of Antis.  Antis was a dog who went with his owner on several bombing missions.  Antis received the Dickin Medal from Britain for his heroic service in World War II.
